Thought I'd try to save someone else from the same hassle.
I actually lowered my tyre pressure back down to OEM figures for my last service.
I didn't want it to be noted in case I have a warranty claim concerning steering and suspension, i.e. excess wear in ball joints and wheel bearings that 'could' be influenced by running high tyre pressures in the eyes of Honda.
